My parents and aunt had it (all in their mid 20s and early 30s). My mom said it was horrible, they had to crawl they had no strength to walk.

I had both the Asian in 57 and the hong kong in 69. In 57 I was 12. Both knocked me down but did not completely debilitate me. I don't recall anyone getting checks from the government because we were all laid up each for a week. I don't recall school being closed or any employers shutting down. I don't recall wearing a mask on any of the other crap that is being mandated today. I don't recall hospitals stopping any elective and non emergency operations. Maybe I had a higher temperature than I recall because surely these things must have happened. Last of all, I don't recall the president being made the butt of jokes on TV over it.
